FREDERICK HENRY ROSE was born January 5, 1833, and entered the (p. 363)
British Royal Navy as assistant-surgeon, November 10, 1855. He was
employed on the home station, on particular service on the North
American, West Indian, and West Coast of Africa stations, until June,
1863. While in Jamaica in April, 1858, with the permission of his
commanding officer, Admiral Sir Hewston Stewart, Royal Navy, he
volunteered, at imminent personal risk, his services on board the
United States vessel-of-war Susquehanna, on which the yellow fever had
broken out, and sailed in her to New York, devoting himself to the
care of the sick. For this noble deed Congress gave him a vote of
thanks and a gold medal. In 1866 Doctor Rose was placed on the retired
list in consequence of ill health. He died at San Remo, Italy, March
31, 1873.
